Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media provide electric supply equipment configured to perform diagnostics. The electric supply equipment may include a receptacle for forming a closed circuit loop. The electric supply equipment includes a connector for charging devices, such as electric vehicles . The connector may include one or more conductors, some of which may be wrapped with insulation. When the connector is not used for charging, the connector may be connected to a receptacle of the electric supply equipment . Thus, the electric supply equipment , via the receptacle , may form a closed loop circuit with the conductors. Further, the electric supply equipment may include a diagnostic unit for performing diagnostic tests on the conductors. In particular, the diagnostic unit may access ends of the conductors via the receptacle

A method and system are provided to facilitate the commissioning of a distributed system. The method and system obtains a base configuration which defines an expected virtual topology for a distributed system, and identifies via a control device a physical network topology of the distributed system to commission the distributed system. The control device performs network discovery to identify a plurality of connected devices that are communicatively coupled thereto, and to collect device information for each connected device relating to its identity and relative position in the distributed system which has connected devices or associated subnetworks connected in a ring network topology. The collected device information for the plurality of connected devices is compared to the expected virtual topology from the base configuration to determine an identity and physical location of the plurality of connected devices and associated subnetworks in the physical network topology of the distributed system.

A measurement module receives a defined system topology and system component characteristics information for a system. The measurement module calculates an expected system impedance for the defined system topology. The measurement module collects one or more impedance measurements using a high frequency voltage stimulus. Finally, the measurement module compares the one or more impedance measurements with the expected system impedance to determine adequacy of protective grounding of the system.

Techniques for automatically configuring a computing device in a computing environment are provided. One embodiment includes determining that the computing device has been added to a computing environment and that at least one feature of the computing device is unconfigured. Device name data specifying at least two potential device identifiers for the computing device is received from a plurality of endpoint devices communicatively coupled to the computing device. A first device identifier is selected from the at least two potential device identifiers and device configuration data associated with the first device identifier is requested from a device configuration server. The at least one feature of the computing device can then be configured using the device configuration data.

A progressive protection method automatically adapts a protection trip delay or fault timeout for a motor that is a member of a group of motors performing mutually similar or related tasks, based on the occurrence of a fault in another motor within the group, without requiring manual intervention. If the user requires stringent protection of the motors in a particular application, then the trip delay time for all of the motors in the group, may be shortened in response to recently-detected similar trips of other motors within the group. Alternatively, if the user prefers continuity of service for a particular application, then the trip delay time for all of the motors in the group, may be increased in response to recently-detected similar trips of other motors within the group, based on past experience with the occurrence of fault self-clearing for the motors in the group.

A method, apparatus and computer program product resolve the problem of unbalanced loads in an EVSE cluster of multiple EVSE charging stations. A signal is provided to the EVSEs identifying which phase of the three-phase power source has the highest current. When one of the EVSEs in the cluster determines whether it is connected to an EV's on board charging device, determines whether it is already charging the connected EV, and determines whether the EVSE is using the phase that has the highest current, then the EVSE may transmit a cluster load balancing control signal as a control pilot signal to the EV's onboard charging device to adjust the charging rate of the current that the EV is consuming from the EVSE.
